...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING...

The National Weather Service in Albany has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for all of eastern New York and adjacent
  western New England.

* From Sunday afternoon through Monday morning

* A widespread moderate to heavy rainfall will occur across the
  region from late Sunday into early Monday. Forecast rainfall
  amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected, with the highest amounts
  forecast for areas west of the Hudson River Valley.

* Excessive rainfall with rates of around one half to one inch
  per hour at times, will result in flash flooding of urban, poor
  drainage, and low lying areas, as well as small streams. Leaves
  clogging storm drains is another concern that could lead to
  flash flooding in urban areas. Isolated thunderstorms are also
  expected, which will locally enhance rainfall rates. Some main
  stem river flooding will also be possible.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
